Episode Synopsis

Season 2 of Foresight's Frontier Conversations opens with a discussion on the most powerful force reshaping infrastructure investing today: the energy transition. Hosts Richard Thompson and Dan Wells, Partners at Foresight Group and Co-Managers of Foresight's flagship energy transition funds FEIP I and FEIP II, explore the realities behind deploying capital into renewable generation, storage, and the grid infrastructure needed to support a decarbonised power system. They unpack why the energy transition has become the largest subsector in infrastructure, the challenges of integrating variable renewable energy into ageing grids, and why regulatory frameworks are now make-or-break for investor confidence. From the valuation of renewable assets to the emerging role of long-duration storage and flexibility solutions, this episode sets out the investment landscape that will define the next decade. If you're looking for clarity on where the opportunities lie - and what stands in the way - this is where to start.
